I hereby certify that I have examined the case of the Administrator of Captain George Goosely, deceased, who claims commutation of five years full pay and interest to the present time, on account of the service of the said Captain George Goosely as Captain in the Virginia State Navy during the war of the revolution, pursuant to the act of 5 th July 1832. and I am satisfied from the evidence in the case, that the said George Goosely deceased was a Captain in the Virginia State Navy in the revolutionary war, and continued in the service as such till the end of the war. I am therefore of opinion that the Administrator of the said George Goosely deceased is entitled to Two Thousand five hundred and nine dollars and thirty cents, the full pay of the said Captain George Goosely as Captain in the Virginia State Navy for five years, with interest thereon from the 22 nd day of April 1783 to the present time,

- The sum of Four Thousand five hun- dred and eighty six dollars and ninety two cents, paid by the United States under said act of 5 th July 1832, as half pay for life - ($4486.92 of which were paid in May 1834, and the balance in June 1845) - to be de- ducted. Interest on interest not to be allowed. The amount is payable to William Lambert, administrator of George Gassely deceased, or to Thomas Green Gay, his Attorney in fact.

I certify that I have examined the claim of the administrator of George Goosely, decd. who received half-pay at the Treasury Department in 1834 under the act of July 5. 1832, entitled "An act to provide for liquidating and paying certain claims of the State of Virginia;" and I find that payment was made from the 22 d of April 1783 to the 1 st of August 1801 at the rate of $243 33 1/3 / 100 per annum, instead of being paid  having been at the rate of $250 93 / 100 per annum. The difference therefore between these two sums fall per year for the period above mentioned is still due, and is payable to William Lambert, Esq. of Richmond, Virginia, administrator of said Goosely; and it is requested that a draft for the amount may be sent to said Lambert at his residence.
